The Diversity Awareness Office (DAO) provides information and support to the university
community in the areas of multicultural awareness and community building, prejudice
education, and practical resources relating to diversity issues. The DAO sponsors,
produces and promotes events that encourage and foster diversity awareness around
issues of gender, class, race, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Awareness
of diversity is examined through lectures, movies, discussion groups and social events. The DAO provides a safe, supportive environment where students can begin to understand
the diversity they experience on campus and across the larger global community.
